Chapter 18 - Brother, Please Help Me!!
Wen Sying took a trip back to lane to her past. How she was brought to the modelling industry after the year of graduation, only to give a capable competitor to Li Xue, in front of whom she might go weak.
When Li Xue was flourishing in the industry to fulfill her dreams, the rival agency contacted her to join their team to reach the fame her friend was enjoying. She clearly knew the selfish intentions of those people which was against her best friend but she too wanted to enjoy the kind of life her friend was enjoying.
The life where she was praised and cherished by so many people. A life where so many people became her fans to stand and support her. A life where whatever she wore or did become a fashion trend to be followed by thousands of people. A life in which she could also get the person about the whole desires. She too wanted a life like that and a boyfriend for whom everyone envies her.
So she accepted the offer to rival her best friend, who never considered her as a rival. Not even when she joined her rival agency to transform herself as her competitor.
However, Wen Sying denied but she knew in her heart that how good Li Xue kept her friendship with her. It was her who never felt it sufficient and always had doubts in her. She always took her love and kindness as her weapon she used to look down on her.
With such unreasonable reasons in her head, she took a decision that ruined someone's career as well as someone's life. On a whim she got herself involved in a plan that ruined everything in Li Xue's life, her character, her career and also her dream.
It was a crime she knew for which will never be forgiven. All these years she was blaming herself but never had the courage to return back what she gained from that decision. She got everything she desired, giving her an air of proudness in her heart.
She coddled the guilt in her heart saying that what the world heard and viewed was not the truth but an illusion to make them perceive Li Xue in a wrong way. She made her heart understand that nothing wrong happened to her on the night when she was deliberately made drunk to create a sizzling scandal.
But now when Li Xue returned, she has brought a small life with her introducing her as her daughter. What picture does her words give now? That was simply proving that she ruined her friend for real. It was not an illusion as she thought of rather it was the true destruction.
She was tricked to ruin her life. Now how was she going to make the picture in the mirror believe that she has not committed any heinous crime. That she has not done a true villainous thing.
She wanted to desperately ask the other person the phone, why did he trick her like that. But what she got as a reply was the abrupt disconnection of the call. What does this mean?
Meanwhile at the same time, a woman dressed in an exquisite outfit got inside the tallest building of Jingling City. It was the legendary building of Feng Internationals. Legendary because it was the only business organization which had not got the blow of any economic breakdown till date, even in the year when the whole country's economy was shaken. They were the ones who helped the government to stabilize everything back, becoming the supreme power of the country.
Getting to the front desk, the woman said with a sense of urgency, "Hey! Is my brother still inside?"
The receptionist looked up and realizing who the person was, immediately lowered her head to give a polite bow. "Good morning Ms. Feng. The CEO is still inside. Should I inform him about your arrival" She asked, guessing something really urgent in the air.
"It's okay. You don't have to. I will just go on my own", she said and without waiting for another second quickly turned and took the private elevator to the top floor of the CEO's office.
The receptionist looked at the disappearing silhouette of Ms. Feng. Who would not know her? She was the diva in all socialites and also the pampered sister of the most powerful businessman of the country.
This was her first time seeing her this close as it is very rare for her to visit the office premises. It has always been the annual gathering where the employees could get a good look of her beautiful face. Seeing her here with such an anxious expression, it was clear that she needed urgent help in something big.
The elevator soon dinged open at the top floor and the woman strutted out with an anxious expression still up on her face. As she walked past the different desks of the Secretarial team, the people stood up to greet her but she barely paid any attention to them.
To her the most important work now was to meet her brother and ask his help. She knew her abrupt appearance in the office would not be liked by her brother but she really has something important.
Reaching the ultimate door of CEO office, she hurriedly pushed it open only to be greeted by the pair of fiery grey eyes sending chilly shivers down her spine. Like she has presumed, her brother didn't like her sudden appearance. But the damage was already done and she will get punished for it, so there was no point of hesitation.
Ignoring the chilly, dark and terrifying aura he was exuding, she got inside the cabin and closed the door behind her. "Brother, I know you did not like me coming here so suddenly but I needed your help urgently. If you want to punish me for this, then I won't complain but please help me out this once. Please…" she said but trailed off when she felt no change in the cold piercing gaze her brother was giving to her.
Those eyes were really fiery. If she wasn't his sister and had not known that he won't be harming her then she would already be on her knees begging him to spare her life. She gulped and swallowed the lumps accumulated at her throat and again continued, "Please Brother, I have been trying to find her for 5 years now but nothing is helping me. None of my resources worked. I have searched almost every foreign country and many other cities in the country but wasn't able to find her. Please help me. You know what she meant to me. She is only one whom I really considered friend from heart"
